Here is the link for our gradation ceremony! Congratulations 🎉🎈 https://youtu.be/zmJ-uDWEsq8

Hello 2020 graduates, I wanted to communicate with you about a few details as it pertains to graduation. I am looking forward to seeing all of you. There will be two separate groups and times for the graduates to receive their diploma. Last name A-K will be from 10:30 am - 12:30 pm and last name L-Z will be from 1:30 pm - 3:30 pm. Please do not arrive prior to your scheduled time to avoid violating appropriate health protocols. Each graduate will be allowed two cars. One car will be for the graduate and immediate family. The additional car can be for extended family and friends. Please feel free to decorate your cars if you desire. Arrive with both cars together and enter the parking lot by the Dustrol Entrance on the far East side of the campus. There will be our SRO officers there to direct you. It is crucial that everyone remain in their cars to insure no violations of social distancing practices and for safety. Once the line begins our SRO officer will direct the line to the graduation stage. Once the two cars for each graduate arrive at the stage the graduate and immediate family may exit the vehicle. The graduate will proceed across the stage and then to the photo area. The extended family in the other vehicle will remain in the car with the windows down supporting their graduate. Once the photos are complete the graduate and their families will exit the property. It is recommended that all graduates wear their gown. Any diplomas that are not picked up during graduation will be available for pick up on Monday July 27th from 9am. - 3pm. Please come to the main office entrance and you will be able to retrieve your diploma. If this does not work for you please contact me at mcarroll@usd375.org Sincerely, Matthew J. Carroll

Dear Circle Parents and Students, I am writing today to provide you a brief update on the progress towards beginning the new school year. As you know the Governor of Kansas has issued an executive order that will ask that schools not officially reopen until after Labor Day. We will of course follow all the state and local government guidelines as we move towards the start of the school year. In the meantime, we are working feverishly behind the scenes to develop contingency plans that will address student learning, health/safety of our students/staff, what the learning will look like and a myriad of other scenarios as well. We currently have a District Task Force working on these plans that is made up of parents, administrators, teachers and support staff to develop a broad plan. I have been pleased with the diligence and commitment of these people as they try to make a plan in the midst of this ever changing situation. Once the school district’s plan is developed each one of the buildings in our school community will drill down on what that looks like for our different environments. I want to assure you that once we are allowed to return to school we will have a plan in placethat will address the need for student learning and safety. As we get closer to the start of the school year we will communicate these plans to our high school parents/students. I believe it is very important to get the students back in school. The process and manner in which that is accomplished will be a challenge for us. We are working towards the goal of having our students back in our school buildings that are in compliance with local and state guidance as it pertains to the safety of all our school patrons. Finally, please be patient with us moving forward. I know if you are like me you like to plan ahead and know what is coming down the road. Unfortunately, if I have learned anything from this COVID experience is that “certains” are few and far between. Have faith that we are working hard to secure a plan and when we have one in place you will be communicated with thoroughly. Sincerely, Matthew J. Carroll
